Perhaps, instead of “my last owner” you could have said “the aforementioned owner.” Actually, that still kinda sounds weird. You’re right, this is hard. Also, wouldn’t Joseph be his last owner? Seeing as he kinda isn’t anymore.

I had a really hard time writing that sentence. It’s supposed to be a total different female character you’ve never seen nor ever will see. Problem is it sounded really weird saying “she” in that last panel because it could easily be confused that he was talking about the Pop Villain and saying “one of my last” again, didn’t sound like fluid conversation.. like at all.
